The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

The trucker was welding some armor plate to his truck with Zachary assisting.

Mr. Bigmouth and Deimos were busy swapping out the engine for a more powerful one.

"Guys, just so you know, these up-armored vehicles will handle differently due to their added weight," Deimos shouted over the din of the garage.

--------------------

"You think!?" Alexandria snapped.

The courtroom was interrupted again by the sound of gunfire and an explosion in the distance.

Incendia surveyed his surroundings. From atop one of the taller building in the city, he had a good vantage point to get a visual on the situation. It certainly wasn't pretty, though this bothered the orange dragon little.

Glacia groaned from where she lent, aside a brick wall. 'I can't believe I'm responsible for YOUR actions,' she said with distaste. 'It's enough to put up with you, and now even more so when the lives of others are directly in question.'

Incendia turned, and faced his sister. 'Hey, I'm only going to go for a quick fly around and have a looksie, what could possibly-'

'DON'T SAY THAT!' Glacia shouted, spitting out some of her ice breath by accident in the process. She wiped a hand across her face.

'You're so funny when you shout,' Incendia replied with a giggle, before looking back out into the city. 'Hey, I think I see a Starbucks over there, I might go and check it out.'

Glacia rushed over and grabbed her brother. 'Listen to me, buster... and listen well. I'm lenient most of the time, but I swear to some god or the other that if you do anything stupid in the middle of a WAR I will NOT... BE... HAPPY!'

'So, uh... You'll be mildly annoyed?'

'I'LL BE FURIOUS! ARE YOU EVEN TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY!?'

'Um... cheese?'

Glacia clenched her teeth, and let go of her brother. 'Just... go. Go and do your little fly around, and report back to me or Tarrax. Just scout, eyes and ears only. That's all... understood?'

Incendia saluted. 'Yes, captain!' Then he ran off the side of the building and let his wings spread out. Glorious fluffy wings a golden orange caught the breeze, and the little dragon was into the distance.

Glacia yelled out to her brother. 'For gods sake, don't get yourself killed!' She sighed, 'I'd never forgive myself.'

Jason with a blaster pistol in each hand continued firing them off together at various enemy soldiers, with the others of his team taking turns firing their weapons, providing cover for each other or looking to see where most of the firing was coming from.  Some others like Moran were throwing various types of grenades, or using a grenade launcher to shoot them off.

"I guess I will continue to work as an ammunition handler for now. Later, I might work as a waitress," Alexandria replied.

-------------------

Mr. Bigmouth, Deimos, Zachary and the rest of the group had finished up-armoring the flatbed truck.

The truck's tires were replaced with a super tough airless tire, the windows were replaced with bullet proof glass and heavy armor plating protected the cab, engine, drivetrain and the passengers in the back (the bed of the truck was now an armored box), slat armor surrounded the truck to protect it from RPGs. Finally, the truck was equipped with a heavy brushguard and reinforced front and rear bumpers for ramming.

"May we present, the Mako armored transport truck," Deimos said, gesturing to the bay where the truck was lowered to the ground.

Nice" Shaggy said " Now can you do that to our other vehicles.. I'm not sure we can do anything to the mystery Machine, its not meant for use in wartime.."
 But it can carry ten people' Nick responded looking at the the vehicles reacieving armor.. 'and we need enough vehicles so that we don't have to deal wioth the mustard gas..
-
 " Will those suits fits?' Palmon said as she looked at a soldiers puting on a haz-mat suit.. ' Not sure.." came the reply.

"Hey, neither is my truck," the Bull trucker said.

"Nani, Shaggy, your vehicles have been modified already," Deimos said. He was covered in grease. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to take a shower."

He then left and headed to the barracks to clean up.

Nani's SUV and the Mystery Machine were lowered from the lifts.

"The upgrades we added include more powerful engines, a night vision system, puncture-proof airless tires, reinforced front and rear bumpers and brushguard for ramming, armor that can withstand everything up to 30-06 armor piercing rounds and bullet proof windows. However, I must warn you that unlike the heavier armor found on the 'Mako Armored Transport Truck' this armor will not protect against mines or IEDs. It will protect you from frag grenades, though. Oh, all the vehicles have fully sealed, self contained air systems that use enchanted gem filters that two of your mages were happy to provide. However, the bed of the truck does not have that filtratrion system," a Chimpanzee mechanic said. "Oh by the way, the van and SUV are armed. The van's got a M2 .50 cal machine gun - we had to take out some seats to fit the weapon in and the SUV's got a retractable 7.62 mm gatling gun with its own electrical supply. We also had to take out some seats for that too."

As soon as the mechanic spoke, two soldiers got in the car and deployed the weapons. Hatches on the roofs of the two vehicles slid back as the weapons deployed. The Mystery Machine's weapon was remotely controlled while it appeared that someone would have to serve as a gunner for Nani's SUV, granted they were protected by two halves of the hatch which opened up and outwards to form a barrier against enemy fire.

"So how do you like them?" the mechanic asked.

"Great work!" Mr. Bigmouth said.

"Looks like we're done here." The ranger said.  He looked off in one direction, "I think I'm needed elsewhere, want to come." He asked Velma.

"Why not. I'm done here and got separated from my friends." Velma said.

"Ok." He said.  "Just put a hand on my shoulder." He said.  Once she had done so he snapped both his fingers & then vanished, only to appear near where the extreme dinosaurs were.  

Velma took out her pistol and shot of a few shots at some enemy troops.  The ranger fired off both of his pistols.

Dixie looked at the redesigned van, which had armor covering much of the outside. ' you guys did a.. amazing job.. " she said , opening the door and looking inside. they had taken out the back seats to fit in the gun, so the van could only seat 6 or 7 passengers..
-Let me handle the gun" Genki said, almost beside himself with excitement '
_ Ralright, rust re rareful Renki" Scooby said, as he reentered the van.
 Tiger and Tigeress climbed into the middle seat , and Agumon and Agumina soon followed..'

Deimos returned from the barracks. He was not wearing his protective suit but he was wearing his armor, helmet and bandolier. Ms. Swimmer and Mr. Bigmouth had cleaned themselves up with the hose in the garage.

"You guys did a damn good job," Deimos said, glancing at the mechanics. He then turned to Genki. "You control the machine gun with a joystick - the trigger is mounted under the joystick like on a gun - and an advanced targeting suite will help you in acquring targets. Oh yeah, don't f--- up," he said.

Dr. Zanasiu knocked on the armored window of the Mystery Machine. "Shouldn't we give these a test run so we can get used to how they handle? I mean we don't want one of these vehicles rolling over and killing the passengers," he said. "Not to mention we'll need to practice with the mounted weapons," he added.

The Bull trucker got into his vehicle and started the engine. Several Cobalt Squad soldiers and the Pelvanida Group - except for Deimos - entered the passenger compartment. Haresh loaded a box and a large bottle of recharging fluid into the passenger compartment.

"Just finished a new crystal air purifier. It's got a fan so it can circulate more air," Haresh said, climbing in.

A group of mechanics loaded the weapons on the two armed vehicles.

"The test range is out back," a soldier said.

----------------------

The truckeer grabbed the radio from the center console. "You all ready to go out for a practice run?" he asked via radio.

Velma and the others joined together in their firefight.  She went and stood over with the extreme dinosaurs.

"I say we should charge them, we've reduced their numbers enough." Spike said.  

"Better then just standing here." T-bone said.  

"I'll provide a momentary distraction." The ranger said.  He snapped his fingers and changed to the season 1 green ranger outfit.  He then then took out the dragon dagger and started playing the song that would give him a protective force field for a short time as he started to slowly walk towards where the enemy were.  

Taking this opportunity the others used what cover there was to try to get as close as they could before they started to open up on the enemy.

" sure" Dixie nodded, climbing into the passenger seat, and Scooby waited while the others buckled up, before driving off towards the back of the base.. 'Genki.. lets make one thing clear.. this is not a game. there are no extra lives, or replays. If anything happens, its real, you get hit by a bullet, you could die. " dixie said, giving him a glance "so be careful..' You're sounding like my mom" Genki smirked
_ At least someone is trying to make sure you don't get us all killed" tiger said, growling..
_ whatever you do, don't stop firing, unless of course you run out of ammo.." Tai said.
 Hunter climbed into the revamped rovermobile. the car now had twin  machines, one placed in the back, the other on the passenger side in the front. The driver could steer while two others manned the guns..
- I'll handle the front gun " colleen said.
Understood. You are free to go' Briggins said. "Lippanzers, decide amongst yourselves who will testify first.."

"I will go first," Hans said. He took the witness stand and cleared his throat.

"Please state your name," the ghost-prosecutor said.

"Hans Neitmeyer."

"Very well, Mr. Neitmeyer, what exactly did you see?"

"Well, Franz, Werner and myself were merely sitting in the lobby waiting for additional orders when we heard someone screaming for help coming from the magazine in the back. Since our shotguns were being cleaned we had to resort to using our expandable batons. When we arrived we found the defendant on top of Alexandria and we pulled him off and subdued him."

--------------------------------

The trucker drove the armored truck around the course. To his surprise, the heavy vehicle was surprisingly fast.

There were several steel plates that were set up for target practice but since his vehicle had no weapons he could not do anything except drive around.

--------------------------------

Deimos radioed all the drivers of the armored vehicles. "If you have mounted weapons, test them out at the range in the back. There's a bunch of steel plates placed there for that purpose," he said.

He was in the mess hall and eating some seafood.

The ranger kept up the protective field, with the bullets bouncing off of it while the others circled around then took out the enemy troops.  

"That was amazing how you have a field like that." Spike said.

The ranger nodded, "yes, useful, though one can't attack nor walk very fast.  I guess that is why the 2 who had the green power coin before didn't really use it much.  They'd rather do their Hai, and jump at a foe though that did often get them blasted in the face." the ranger said, "Thought the first of those was odd.  Leaving his morpher behind, or his communicator, instead of keeping them with him all the time.  Then just dropping the green coin for no reason a bit after he got it from his evil twin.  Luckily I got it before Rita or Zed could get their hands on it.  And later he quit using his zeo morpher for no good reason, as did the rest of his team.  If billy had not secretly made the turbo morphers divatox would have easily slain them.  Though why a space pirate would want to conquer anything makes no sense.  Pirates are folks who plunder then escape, not conquer to rule."

"So where do we go now?" Bullseye said.

"Well, we can, if he's not to far, meet up with Jason." Velma said.

How long did it take you to subdue him? Lona asked giving Hans a furtive glance.. " It seems to me, that the defendant is without anyone to support his testimony, it is his word against the rest of yours."
 Scooby drove around the field, and genki rattled off a volley of gunfire. his aim was pretty good, hitting the plates low on the left side.. " This is like my space game.. you get skill point if you fire 500 shots tio the left..'

"How do we find him?" T-bone asked.  

"If v-mon was here he may know of a way.  I could try to unmorph and use a cellphone to call, though in the middle of a war that is a bit silly thing to do." Velma said.

"That is ok, I'll switch to a mystic ranger and use a spell." The ranger said and with a snap he changed to a green mystic ranger.  He then looked at Velma.  "If you will give me your hand and think of Jason I can seek him with a spell." He said.  Once Velma took his left hand he took out a wand in his right.

"What's that glittery stuff?" Bullseye asked.  

"Pixie dust." The ranger said in a serious tone of voice then he cast a spell to seek Jason, a person she knew.

"About 10 to 15 seconds," Hans replied.

----------------------------

Setsuna cast her magic door spell in the garage. "If anyone wants to return to the Inglorious Hotel, use this portal," she said.

Mr. Bigmouth stepped through the portal.

An arrow appeared in the air nearby.  

"I guess he's that way." Bullseye said looking at the glowing arrow.

"Whatever gave you that idea?" Spike said somewhat sarcastically.  

"Get ready for a teleport." The ranger said and raised his wand to cast a teleport spell that went over all of them and teleported them to near where Jason and the others were.
